Anyone know how I could make a Longbow ranged weapon except it does 2d6 damage in stead of 1d8 also STR based in stead of DEX (for hit mod and damage mod)? 

Another frustrating disappointment how not flexible homebrew weapons are. Someone please prove me wrong and lower this issue to just "not intuitive".

I believe you can do this by creating a magic weapon based on a longbow, then using the "Replace Damage Type" modifier to do what you'd like.

Or, just create a custom attack on the character page that fits those requirements.

 yes that is the easiest way.

Oh for sure. There's a lot of really simple weapons I'd love to make that require more than just making a custom attack. They really should allow us to do that. But for now that's the best fix.

So with the new Character Sheet Revamp, is there a way to do this? I've been playing with it but I'm still unsuccessful. The following from the post gave me hope for the Laminated Longbow.

Snippet Code

The short descriptions on features, traits, and feats also include some simple code to auto-calculate a variety of numbers for ease of use. The syntax for this code is "{{inserthere}}" and can use math. The full list of available options are:

...and the rest of that section.

Just taking a look at this - You can use the customise options on the attack tab. I don't think I can see anything immediately in the item creation menus which can set it, but you could manually set it at each point using that option? 

Yes that helped, thanks! Now if only I could make a custom weapon to give that attack when equipped.
